At last there is one book which covers remedial massage therapy to an advanced level…this book covers everything that an advanced practitioner would put into practice on a day to day basis right down. Really well laid out easy to read with just the right amount of info without overdoing it and making it an effort to read. I'm a graduate of the Advanced Remedial Massage Diploma Course from the Northern Institute of Massage (NIM), this book backs up everything I was taught in the year long advanced remedial diploma ...and introduces a couple of new treatment options here and there. All the other students bought a copy after I took mine along for them to look at. If you are a professional in practice then this should be your go to manual. It is geared more for advanced practitioners but will certainly help any remedial massage therapist. I must have bought and read over 20 other books before I came across this…would have saved myself a lot of time and money if I've just bought this. I'd happily pay double for this book it's that good.

Good book with diagrams and techniques, but after page 112 mine had no page numbers making the index a bit pointless. Book was ordered new, so check yours when it arrives.
